| <ol> |
| <li> |
| Select the project, and from its context menu, select <strong>Properties</strong>. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| In the Properties dialog, select the <strong>Java Build Path</strong> page. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click the <strong>Libraries</strong> tab. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click the <strong>Add Class Folder</strong> button. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| In the dialog that appears, select a folder to add press the <strong>OK</strong> button. |
| If you want to add a not yet existing folder use first <strong>Create |
| New Folder.</strong> After the folder is created select the new folder and press the <strong>OK</strong> button</li> |
